About Take Back Parliament
Take Back Parliament brings together a coalition of different groups and organisations in the call for fair votes. They include POWER2010, Unlock Democracy. Electoral Reform Society and Vote for a Change.
Our "winner takes all" system of First-Past-The-Post is bust beyond repair. It produces unfair and undemocratic results, like the one we've just seen, which don't reflect the wishes of the British people. It empowers a few thousand voters in "marginal" seats who decide elections, while those in "safe" seats, where the MP has a large majority, are ignored. And it hands huge power to the ruling party based on a tiny proportion of the vote. It is time for the UK to move to a proportional system that ties a party's share of seats to its share of votes across the country.
This is the fairest system. It would ensure everyone's vote counts; it would offer voters more choice and it would produce a government and Parliament that represents the British people.
But any change in our voting system must be led by the people, not politicians. We are calling for a Citizens Convention to be convened to decide on a new voting system to be put to the people in a referendum.
